Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Hypertension
Diabetic Nephropathy
Registration Number
NCT00171574
Lead Sponsor
Novartis
Brief Summary

Title: Antiproteinuric effect of valsartan, lisinopril and valsartan versus lisinopril in non-diabetic and diabetic renal disease: a randomized (3:3:1), double blind, parallel group, controlled trial, 5 months follow-up.

Objective: To evaluate the antiproteinuric effect of high doses of valsartan vs combo treatment in no-diabetic and diabetic patients.

Hypothesis: Combo treatment reduces microalbuminuria, proteinuria and the albumin/creatinin ratio more than monotherapies.

Design: Multicentric, randomized, double blind, parallel group, active controlled.

Dose / regimen Valsartan 320 vs Lisinopril 40 vs Valsartan/lisinopril 160/20
